Disaster Inspections Disaster Inspection Services involves the onsite collection of information in the form of data used to assist organizations, governments, insurance companies, and property owners with accessing the extent of damage to real and personal property. This can include photographs, measurements, diagrams, and detailed descriptions of any and all pertinent information deemed necessary for compiling the information deemed warranted by the client.
	Insurance Inspections Each inspection is as different as are the types of inspections. Insurance companies and property owners are often looking for a complete inventory of major components, or drawings or measurements of grounds and outbuildings. They may be looking at specific items such as infrastructure, housekeeping or safety issues. As an independent contractor we offer the flexibility to do each inspection in accordance with the request of the client.
		Project Management Project management services can run the gambit from operating a registration collection station overseas to overseeing a private construction project here in the states. A project is a temporary task with a timeline and can include organizing, resource management, planning, and day to day supervision. An independent contracted manager is both cost efficiency and time productivity, it also provides for unbiased observations and reporting procedures unencumbered by local politics.
			Investigations and Additional Services Our services are contracted services and involve the collection of information through observation, reporting and analysis on a task by task basis. For that reason it would almost be easier to list what we won't do in this field. Call us and ask - we might just the people you're looking for. Let your request be the start.
Anytime-Anywhere Governments, insurance companies and property owners are often faced with the need for inspection services and not always in the most convenient places or the best of times. Our response is not limited to where or when. Regardless of the weather, location, distance, or timing if you need us we will make it there.
	Background Our first disaster work was in June 1971, and since that time we have responded, taught, and worked with a wide variety of clients. Inspections, investigations/security and project management includes working for multiple large and small private and government clients including the Walt Disney Co., the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Castle Inspections, McDargh Consulting, Pinkerton National Detective Agency, Shopko, Lowes, and multiple state and county governments.
		Experience With experience that spans 40 years, we have the stability to understand the problems associated with all extremes, from working long term in the heart of disasters, to the trials of living and working in foreign countries. We have the background to go across the street or across the ocean.
			Community Service We believe that just as important as our work life is our community life. To that end we have worked with and continue to contribute too many community groups and charities. We have worked with Boy Scouts, Little League, Y.M.C.A, Big Brothers, Great Plains Zoo, Animal Rescue, community Planning and Zoning, and with regional and national Search and Rescue teams.
